Personal Interpretation of Symbols By Samantha Duly
This month I have chosen to write about symbols and personal interpretation of them. I have said personal, as it is really your own interpretation, as others may have their own. Symbols and signs can be received in two ways, psychically including through our intuition and also mediumistically because as a medium works, they can receive symbols within a reading. We are all capable of receiving symbols through any of our five senses. It is really about being open to receiving and, as we all have a sixth sense, we can also use our extra-sensory perception or ESP if we so wish. We can even receive symbols in our dreams, which is an excellent reason to have a notepad handy when you wake up, as the more you receive, the more meaningful they become. When you receive symbols psychically, you can then use them to enhance your intuition and awareness. Through this symbology,

But, by writing the information down, you will start to see a pattern emerge, especially if it is repetitive, which will then help you gain an understanding of what is being shown. Then you can begin to build your ‘symbol dictionary’. Everyday items can be symbolic and can even include colours. You can also see symbols subjectively inside your mind and
objectively as in front of you. You can even find that you are guided to look at something specific and receive a message. A few examples include: Daffodils – representing Spring, spring in your step, in Australia, they are symbolic for Cancer. Candle – shine your inner light as you can bring light to the darkness. Clock – divine timing, time to act, timing is everything. Fruit – reaping the rewards for hard work Key – open the door to new beginnings or a new way of being Mirror – take time to look within, look at things for a different angle. Water – about your emotions or an emotional situation. Cloud – depression or every cloud has a silver lining. Other symbols can be anything from white feathers, butterflies, dragonflies and birds.
